Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steady rest according to the preamble of claim 1 (see, eg DE-3543806-A ).
  • Such lunettes are for example from the EP 2848359 A1 can be seen, held by a rotationally symmetrical workpiece centered in space and supported.
  • Such workpieces are shafts or hollow bodies, whose outer lateral surface is to be processed by means of tools, whereby considerable machining forces are produced which act on the clamped workpiece and bend it.
  • Such workpieces are several meters long, so that the necessary to support the workpieces lunettes are arranged at a predetermined distance from one another in the region of the tool bed of a machine tool.
  • the tool bed of a machine tool provides a limited space available to be equipped with other elements, so that the space size of the bezel is adapted to the available space of the machine tool.
  • the lunettes are either vertically or laterally slightly offset from this to align to hold the workpiece to be held from below and to center.
  • the lunettes consist for this purpose essentially of two housing shells in which three lunette arms are movably arranged.
  • the steady rest arms are in operative connection with a pneumatically or hydraulically operated one Pressure piston, by which the three lunette arms are moved synchronously by means of a guide carriage in the direction of the workpiece to be clamped or away.
  • the middle Lünettenarm is therefore axially reciprocate and the two outer ßeren Lünettenarme lie on the outside of the guide carriage and perform a pivotal movement in the operation of the guide carriage.
  • On two opposite outer sides of the guide carriage namely a control path is worked on which each rest one arranged at the free ends of the outer Lünettenarms rollers and rolls on the control track.
  • the two outer lunette arms which are rotatably mounted on the housing shells, delivered in the direction of the workpiece or pivoted.
  • the respective control track of the guide carriage has at least two control sections and that at least two mutually spaced rollers are arranged on the respective outer Lünettenarm, which are in operative contact with one of the control sections in dependence on the position of the guide carriage in the housing shells, the space size the bezel is achieved while maintaining the largest possible pivoting range of the outer lunette arms, because the alignment of the respective control sections of the control track is aligned depending on the delivery position of the guide carriage, so that the lunette arms, in particular the two outer lunette arms, the largest possible pivoting range through and consequently different can clamp large sized workpieces.
  • the lunette arms are permanently drivingly connected to the guide carriage, so that the lunette arms both in the direction of the workpiece and opposite to this are movable.
  • the guide carriage thus acts not only as a delivery element but also as a return device for the three lunette arms.
  • control tracks Due to the structural design of the control tracks, in particular the transition region between two adjacent control tracks, it is achieved that the rollers rest either individually or in pairs on two adjacent control sections, whereby a uniform movement of the guide carriage is possible with different sized Verschwenkdorf the two outer lunette arms, there the corresponding control sections different from each other are aligned or aligned relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing shells.
  • FIG. 1 is a bezel 1 can be seen, by which a workpiece 2 in the room to support or hold centrally so that the longitudinal axis of the workpiece 2 as straight as possible, so without bending, runs.
  • the workpieces 2 are rotationally symmetrical shafts or hollow bodies, which are machined by a machine tool, not shown. Often the machine tool exercises considerable machining forces on the workpiece 2, which are to be absorbed by the steady rest 1 without the longitudinal axis of the workpiece 2 is moved, because the precise processing steps are not feasible.
  • the bezel 1 consists of two housing shells 4 and 5 which are spaced apart from each other and enclose a space.
  • the housing shells 4 and 5 are firmly connected. Furthermore, the housing shells 4 and 5 form a longitudinal axis 10 which is to be aligned perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the workpiece 2 in order to achieve reliable attachment of the steady rest 1 to the workpiece 2.
  • the steady rest 1 consists of an actuating piston 7 which, for example, pneumatically or hydraulically acted upon by a pressure medium and which is aligned with the longitudinal axis 10 of the housing shells 4, 5.
  • an axial lifting movement is generated, which is aligned in the direction of the workpiece 2 or away from it and which is identified by the reference numeral 3 in the figures.
  • a middle Lünettenarm 6 is fixed, which is thus in operative connection with the actuation piston 7 and is movable away from them in the direction of movement 3 axially in the direction of the workpiece 2 or from this.
  • the middle lunette arm 6 accordingly forms a first support for the workpiece 2.
  • Two further supports required by the middle steady rest arm 6 are formed by two outer lunette arms 11, 12, which are mounted on the housing shells 4 and 5 in a rotatable or pivotable manner by means of a joint 17.
  • a guide carriage 13 is attached to the actuating piston 7, which has a roof-shaped or V-shaped outer contour, wherein the top of the roof or the V adjacent to the workpiece. 2 is arranged and the side surfaces of the guide carriage 13 with respect to the longitudinal axis 10 rise.
  • the opposite outer edges of the guide carriage 13 are designed as a control track 14, on each of which roll on the free ends 15 of the outer bezel arms 11, 12 rollers 16 and permanently applied, as is explained in more detail below.
  • FIG. 2a It can be seen that at the free ends 15 of the outer bezel arms 11, 12, two rollers 16 are provided spaced from each other.
  • the control track 14 is formed in two control sections 21 and 22 and a transition region 24 which is positioned between the two control sections 21 and 22.
  • one of the rollers 16 of the lunette arms 11,12 are assigned to one of the control sections 21 or 22 and act together drivingly with this.
  • the furthest away from the workpiece 2 roller 16 rests on the first control section 21 and is held on this under prestress, for example by a helical compression spring or a coil spring in the joint 17 of the outer lunette arms 11, 12th
  • FIG. 2a can be seen that a workpiece 2 is clamped with a large diameter, for example, of 600 mm, so that the position of the guide carriage 13 is specified in the housing shells 4 and 5 by the size of the workpiece 2, because the smaller the diameter of the clamped workpieces 2 fails, as in the FIGS. 2b and 2c is shown, the position of the guide carriage 13 in the housing shells 4 and 5 changes.
  • a large diameter for example, of 600 mm
  • rollers 16 positioned furthest away from the workpiece 2 arrive in the chucking state according to FIG. 2a exclusively in operative contact or in abutment with the first control section 21 of the guide carriage 13.
  • FIG. 2b is a workpiece 2 with a mean diameter, for example, 300 mm, refer to, so that the position of the guide carriage 13 in the housing shells 4, 5 relative to the clamping state of FIG. 2a is positioned closer to the workpiece 2. Consequently, the rollers 16 of the outer lunette arms 11, 12 arranged adjacent to the workpiece 2 also come into operative contact or contact the second control section 22 associated therewith Clamping state are thus both spaced-apart rollers 16 of the outer lunette arms 11 and 12 at their respective control section 21 and 22 and transmit the clamping forces generated by the actuating piston 7 via the guide carriage 13.
  • a mean diameter for example, 300 mm
  • the inclinations of the two adjacent control sections 21 and 22 is therefore configured differently with respect to the longitudinal axis 10. Consequently, the control sections 21 and 22 have various pitch or inclination angles, which cause the pivoting movement of the outer bezel arms 11 and 12 in response to the operative contact control sections 21 or 22 and the position of the rollers 16 either on the control section 21 or 22 is changed automatically. Due to this structural design of the control track 14 is thus achieved that different sized workpieces 2 can be supported with a bezel 1 without the space size of the bezel 1 is to be changed from the previously known lunettes. Alone by the structural design of the inclinations or gradients of the control sections 21, 22, therefore, the increase in the pivoting range, which is identified by the reference numeral 23 of the outer lunette arms 11 and 12, increased.
  • the guide carriage 13 has a control track 14 with three control sections 21, 22 and 25. At the free ends 15 of the outer lunette arms 11, 12 are therefore three rollers 16 spaced from each other, each associated with one of the control sections 21, 22 or 25 are and are in operative contact with this, as soon as the corresponding position of the guide carriage 13 is reached.
  • All control tracks 14 of FIGS. 1 to 3 is common that the length of the control path 14 corresponds approximately to the distance of two adjacent rollers 16 and the length formed by the two outer rollers 16.
  • a plurality of differently designed control sections 21, 22 or 25 can be worked on the guide carriage 13, which can be configured either linear, concave or convexly curved or wavy, depending on the desired pivoting range 23 of the outer lunette arms 11, 12 in the respective control section 21, 22 and 25 respectively.
  • FIGS. 2a . 2 B and 2c it can be seen that on the guide carriage 13, a return device 18 is mounted, that is with this in operative connection.
  • the return device 18 has a guide groove 19, in which a bolt 20 is inserted, which is fixedly connected to the respective outer Lünettenarm 11 and 12 respectively.
  • a restoring force is transmitted via the bolt 20 of the outer lunette arms 11, 12, by means of which the bolt 20 is guided inwards due to the inner contour of the guide groove 19 of the return device 18, so that the outer lunette arms 11, 12 are opened or pivoted about the hinge 17 to the outside.
  • the actuating piston 7 is designed telescopically.
  • the actuating piston 7 consists of a first part 31 and a second part 32, which are movable relative to each other, because each part 31 or 32 of the actuating piston 7 is assigned to a separate pressure chamber 33 and 34 respectively.
  • the two pressure chambers 33 and 34 open lines 35, which are via a control device or a pump with a pressure medium, such as hydraulic oil, filled or emptied.
  • a pressure medium such as hydraulic oil
  • the adjustment path or stroke of the first part 31 of the actuating piston provided in the pressure chamber 33 7 is limited by a stop 36.
  • hydraulic oil is injected into the second pressure chamber 34, so that the second part 32 of the actuating piston 7 moves in the direction of the workpiece 2, whereby both the still possibly to be bridged actuating travel of the lunette arms 6, 11 and 12 is bridged and on the other hand, the necessary clamping force on the three lunette arms 6, 11 and 12 is generated.
